Lyon County Sheriff’s Office investigating shooting in Fernley

One person was arrested and another was taken to the hospital by Care Flight after a shooting Wednesday evening. 

The Lyon County Sheriff’s office received multiple 911 calls starting at 6:48 pm about a shooting in the parking lot of the Fernley Village Marketplace, in front of Steve’s Homemade Ice Cream. 

Deputies found one person with multiple gunshot wounds, and they identified and arrested a suspect. 

Personnel from the North Lyon Fire Protection District arrived and immediately began providing medical care to the victim. The victim was subsequently transported to Renown Regional Medical Center by CareFlight. 

The Lyon County Sheriff’s Office Investigations Division has responded and will be conducting the investigation. The Sheriff’s Office said there is no current threat to the public. 

This remains an active and ongoing investigation, and the information provided is preliminary. Additional updates will be released in a timely manner.

It smells like sewage and it can be bad enough that people don’t want to be outside or open their windows. It would be helpful to get an investigative journalist help the Fernley residents get a clear answer from the City, NDEP, and any involved facilities. I was really disappointed that the smell was not disclosed by my realtor when I moved here. I enjoy Fernley and am seeing the improvements that are being made.

Why does the County have to pay the whole bill? Just my opinion. Comment publication date: 5/7/26, 10:26 AM Comment source: Storey County, Tesla partner to extend I-80 Patrick on-ramp
